Paper doi abstract bibtex The goal of the present study is to identify a novel paradigm ofepistemic modal operator derived fromdisjunction. Our main data involves aninquisitive disjunction markernkain Korean, the presence of which enhances aspeaker's epistemic uncertainty and forms amodalized question.We show hownkacontributes the modal effects in question within a theory of nonveridicality.In particular, we propose that the prerequisite ofnkaare non-homogenousnonveridical states that are partitioned in equipoised epistemic spaces becauseof the absence in ranking between them. The distinct notions of disjunction,question, and possibility modals can thus be systematically captured under theframework ofnonveridical equilibrium. The current analysis offers importantinsights into the relationship between the classes of nonveridical and modalingredients involved in inquisitive disjunction: First, Korean facts importantlyreveal that modalized questions do not form a uniform class with regularquestions, since interrogative semantics alone cannot predict the epistemicuncertainty. Second, languages parameterize as to how they lexicalize thefunction of manipulating modal base. The implication of our findings is thatdisjunction needs to be recognized as a novel device for encoding aspeaker'sweakest perspectiveon epistemic modality.
